Hey,
I have a core 2 duo e6850. 2 x 1GB OCZ PC2-6400 platinum (4-4-4-15) and 2 x 1GB Corsair PC2-6400 C4 (4-4-4-12)
From some prime95 tests I've come to the conclusion that can either set the memory timings to 4-4-4-15 with 2.05V or leave it at 1.9V and have the timings at 5-5-5-18. I'm just wondering whether there is much point setting the DIMM voltage 150mV higher for such a small decrease in the timings.
How much will the lower timings affect application and gaming performance, because so far I haven't noticed much of a difference. Then again is 150mV going to make much of a difference to the power consumption (and heat) of the DIMM modules?
